subject: The Guidance On Downloading Psp Game [print this page] If you are planning to download a PSP game on your Sony PSP, at first you should prepare a memory stick for the accumulation of the files. If you want to watch video or movies or want to download some video games into your Sony, you need to buy a larger Memory Stick Pro Duo card.
When you download a PSP game into your PC, be sure that it is compatible with your PSP Sony. If the file is not compatible, the process of downloading and installing will go wrong and you have to download once again. Make sure the file downloaded can work with the current version of Firmware installed on your PSP. You may like to download the newest version of the game. Nevertheless, this depends on the version of Firmware installed on your PSP. In general, most homebrew PSP games can work with Firmware 1.5 or less. If you get an error when downloading that says something like "The data is corrupted" or "The game could not be started", it is possible that the homebrew game is not compatible with the Firmware version on your PSP.
Because the author often shares the game to several different platforms; make sure the file you download ends with "psp." Only the version with "psp" in the name will match with your Sony PSP. Most of the time, many of the PSP game download that you find on the web are compressed. Most computers come with a compression application like Stuff it Expander (Mac) or Winzip (PC) will "unzip" this file. Once the unzipping is completed, you will find two folders containing the game and the file 'read me' file from the author.
The next step is to connect the PSP to your PC. Insert the PSP into USB, press the HOME button located on the bottom left of your PSP and then you roll left to the SETTINGS feature. Go down to USB CONNECTION and press X. The Memory Stick inside your PSP will connect with your computer. Finally, do the following: PSP -GAME. If you put the game files in wrong place on the Memory Stick, it will not work properly.
If the "PSP" and "GAME" folders don't exist on your PSP's Memory Stick, you need to create two new folders and name them in CAPS. In order to play the game on your PSP, there are still some steps to follow. After completing copying the game onto your Memory Stick, disconnect the PSP from your PC. Then enter the game main menu, roll over to the GAME file on your Sony PSP and then go down to the Memory Stick option. After this, press X, a list of game files will appear on your display. Press DOWN and you will see the game that you have just installed. And now you can enjoy playing your favorite games.
